India — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hundreds of farmers protested along the Assam-Nagaland border on April 8, 2025, opposing a Nagaland government directive to cease seed farming and vacate border lands designated for palm oil cultivation. The protest occurred at Shantipur in the Merapani border area of Golaghat district, Assam.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and escalated, the dispute could affect local agricultural production patterns as seed farming activities transition to palm oil cultivation, though broader supply chain implications would depend on the scale of land conversion and any prolonged farmer resistance.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional protests or farmer demonstrations across other Assam-Nagaland border areas as the palm oil cultivation directive is implemented
• Track official responses from both Assam and Nagaland state governments regarding the land use policy and farmer grievances
